After being crossed, I have reached the pinnacle of my life

Liulin opened a new inn, Jiang Zhou knew about it, especially the inn was basically opened next to him, but Liulin's inn did not have his natural conditions and the novelty of glass. It was just an ordinary inn, but it was next to him. Jiangzhou's is also facing the entire river, and the scenery is very good. When Jiangzhou can't live here, some people choose to live there.

At this moment, it was suddenly involved there, and Jiang Zhou suddenly understood a little bit.

Liu Chengfeng frowned: "What does this have to do with this case, what can I say?"

Zhuobang, however, had heard about it because Jiang Zhou often discussed with him about building a small town. He thought that Liu Chengfeng knew he wanted to cover up, so he said, "What can't be said, one can't be victimized for nothing. You have to bring up any abnormalities here, you can't be biased just because Liu Lin is your brother-in-law?"

Liu Chengfeng's eyebrows twitched suddenly. He didn't know that Liu Lin had opened an inn to compete with Jiang Zhou for business. He only knew that Liu Lin hadn't been out much since he came home. He only locked himself at home. Liu Chengfeng thought he felt that Embarrassed and unwilling to go out.

Who would have thought that they would open an inn.

He couldn't help but think of Liu Lin's murder of Jiang Zhou for money and the subsequent taxation a few years ago. He also thought that the murder happened in Jiang Zhou's inn, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Obviously, Liu Lin's matter was kept from Liu Chengfeng. Others thought they knew something about it. Now that the scholar tour guide said this, they all had some thoughts in their hearts. They just didn't want to offend anyone. He lowered his head quietly and did not speak.

When they didn't speak, Jiang Zhou looked at Zhuobang.

Naturally, Zhuobang would not let this matter go like this. He and Jiang Zhou tried to build this cement town with the idea of ​​making a name for themselves and making achievements. Death is a big deal, so he made up his mind to punish it severely. Naturally, any possible news will not be missed.

In addition, Liu Chengfeng and Liu Lin were related, so he took over the case with full authority, and the first thing to do was to find the murder weapon.

Jiang Zhou's inn was turned upside down and no murder weapon was found, so Zhuobang set his sights on the town.

A murder case happened in a small place, and everyone was concerned. Knowing that they were looking for the murder weapon, many people paid attention to it. In a small place, many people finally found it after chasing it!

The murder weapon was thrown into the river, and all the blood on it was washed away.

In fact, although the Xihe River is a river, it is also somewhat deep. It stands to reason that it should not be found if it is thrown into it. However, the murderer probably did not expect that the people in the town did not find the murder weapon on land, and even started to salvage the Xihe River spontaneously. It's clearing the river.

Several experienced fishermen brought their own nets to fish, and they really fished out the murder weapon, and the water in the small river was clean after this experience.

Originally, the townspeople thought that the murder would drag down the reputation of the town, but the man threw the murder weapon into the river to pollute the environment, and everyone was so angry that Zhuobang had to find out who the murderer was.

Jiang Zhou suggested that we can start with the murder weapon.

There are a total of three blacksmith shops in their town, plus the retail households in the surrounding villages, there are a total of five or six. Generally, blacksmith shops will mark their own ironware when they forge ironware, and this ironware is no exception. It is the one in the town. Li Kee Iron Shop.

Blacksmith Li immediately blew his beard and stared angrily. The ironware produced by his family has become a murder weapon. How can he do business in the future!

Jiang Zhou said to Zhuobang: "My lord, everyone has this thing at home, but there is a special feature."

"Oh?"

"Ironware is not easy to wear and tear. If it is blunt, it needs to be sharpened. Normal people can't add a few in a year. This weapon has been soaked in water and rusted. After removing the rust, it still looks quite new. It only needs to be recalled by Li Tiejiang. Wouldn’t it be enough if someone came to buy ironware some time ago?”

Fortunately, Li Tiejiang's elder brother was a diligent and thrifty man who had plans for the family. He was afraid that Li Tiejiang would not be able to keep track of the money in the family, so he kept a small notebook to record his daily expenses, and now it happened to be a proof.

Zhuobang took a look and sent all five families to court.

Jiang Zhou frowned, was there no willow forest among them?Could it be that he guessed wrong?

This case was quite a big one, and everyone was paying attention to the progress of the case and it was related to themselves. Four of the families were watching, fearing that the murder case would be related to themselves, so they hurried here with their iron tools. One look and you know it's not them.

Only one of them, a rogue accustomed to doing nothing, came empty-handed.

All eyes locked on him.

Knowing that he was involved in the murder case, the rascal panicked a long time ago, knelt on the ground and shivered.

Zhuobang stared: "Where's your iron?"

The rascal wanted to cry but had no tears: "My lord, the iron utensils from the villain's house were stolen some time ago, and I was still distressed at that time."

"Why did you say that your iron was stolen when there was a murder?"

The rascal had an innocent expression: "My lord, I really don't know. This murder has nothing to do with me. My ironware was just made a few days ago and I took it home, but it was stolen after two days. I even complained to my neighbors, if you don’t believe me, you can ask my neighbor Aunt Zhu.”

A short woman came out from the crowd: "My lord, it's true. Two days ago, he complained to me that the ironware he just bought was missing. At that time, the ironware cost a lot of money."

And so the thread was cut off.

For a while, the trial of this case could not go on, so it could only be shelved for the time being, waiting for new clues to come out.

Jiang Zhou couldn't wait.

If his inn is closed for a day, it will be a loss, not to mention that the guests who have already stayed can't leave now, which is already an inconvenience. After this incident, they will always have to compensate them, which is another sum of money.

However, there was really no clue, and Jiang Zhou didn't know what to do. He walked slowly on the street alone.

Passing by a pharmacy, the clerk inside was drying medicinal herbs outside the door, and was talking, Jiang Zhou listened.

"Why do you think our shopkeeper hoards so many medicinal materials? Isn't it a waste, and we don't need it now."

The other guy is older and has been working for a long time, so he naturally understands the truth, and said: "You know what, the weather will be cold in a few days, and when the four seasons change, it is most likely to get sick from the wind and cold. Can it be used? Naturally, we need to stock up on medicinal materials."

no need to waste...

Stock up on herbs in advance...

Jiang Zhou's eyes lit up!

He hurried to find Zhuobang.

It happened that Zhuobang hadn't taken a nap at this time, and Jiang Zhou caught up.

After hearing Jiang Zhou's words, Zhuobang was a little surprised: "You said you were looking for someone to follow the scoundrel?"

Jiang Zhou nodded: "Think about it, my lord. He is a rascal, and he doesn't work on the ground on weekdays. Why do he make ironware? What's more, the ironware was stolen as soon as he got it back?"

Ironware has always been expensive, and they are all farmers digging in the fields. They are usually placed in a conspicuous place, and they are closely watched. How could they be stolen for no reason?

Furthermore, he didn't need ironware, but he made ironware recently. According to the time given by Blacksmith Li's family, it happened to be the day after Zhou Mi came to town. The timing was too delicate.

Zhuobang was only surprised when he heard this.

Ordinary people don't think of this. They generally think that the ironware has been stolen, and there are witnesses to testify, so the suspicion of rogues will be ruled out. Who would have thought that it might have been premeditated?

There are simply no other clues now, so why not find someone to follow the rogue to see.

So he called his subordinates who had a lot of skill, disguised themselves as residents, and just watched the rascals outside.

Time passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

The rascal Ji Dou sat in front of the table, peeling and eating peanuts by the dim light.

He has a brother and daughter-in-law, Xiao Yun, who was born thin and malnourished. She looked timid and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep today?"

Ji Dou glanced at him: "Go to bed yourself, don't worry about me."

Xiao Yun let out an "oh" and went to sleep by himself.

Ji Dou waited for a while, saw him falling asleep through the crack of the door, then closed the door, changed clothes and hurried out.

As soon as he left, someone followed him from the opposite side.

Ji Dou was obviously very cautious, he looked left and right for a long time, and walked around a long way before entering a house.

There was no light inside, and it was pitch black. Ji Dou knocked on the door frame three times, and there was a vague voice inside: "Come in."

He opened the door and went in, and there was a person sitting inside.

The word "Prisoner" was engraved behind his ear, but it was not engraved on it, as if it was branded on with a soldering iron, and the surrounding flesh was burned out.

It rained suddenly outside, and when the lightning struck, it illuminated the scene inside the house, a thin layer of quilt, half a cup of cold tea, and a cold and violent face.

Although Ji Dou listened to his words, he also felt that this person was very evil, and he didn't dare to have more contact with him, so he said: "I've said everything you taught me."

"Ah."

Ji Dou was a little flustered: "This...wouldn't be a problem, right? They suddenly called me in for questioning today, which shocked me."

"There will be no problem, don't worry, what are you afraid of if there are witnesses?"

Only then did Ji Dou's flustered heart settle down, and then he glanced at him cautiously, faltering and saying: "Well...I've...been short of some money recently..."

The sitting person frowned, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to him: "This is the last time!"

It was a silver ingot of five taels, and Ji Dou had never seen so much silver before, so he immediately took a bite and stuffed it into his bosom happily: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone!"

He took the money and went out happily.

The people in the room sat for a while before pushing down their bamboo hats and opening the door to go out.

As soon as he opened the wooden door outside, he saw several people standing at the door.

Four or five yamen servants, Ji Dou was restrained with his shoulders gagged, and Zhuobang and Jiang Zhou stood behind him.

The pouring rain poured down from the sky, and the surrounding long streets were deserted. The cold rain soaked through the shoes and socks, and he felt a chill rushing up from the soles of his feet.

Jiang Zhou raised his head from under the umbrella and smiled slightly: "Long time no see."

Isn't this exactly Liu Lin who was able to get away from Amnesty not long ago.

Zhuobang said with a cold face: "What are you doing in a daze, take it down!"
